  1. I'm going to take some pics in a bit, the MK-III is definitely a more hefty looking fighter!!
  2. This was from the very short lived Blood & Chrome Pilot/movie that was made in 2012 after BSG ended. For a pre-painted Diecast/ABS toy it looks & feels really good! That show had potential as well this Viper, I'm very happy that Eaglemoss chose to make it since Moebius probably never will.
  3. So Say We All!! While I only build the Moebius model kits for BSG this was the only way to get a VIPER MKIII and it was worth it. The detail & weight to the fighter in very impressive IMO. I got this one off of Ebay and not for the gouging price tag either that some are charging, here is the sellers link: https://www.ebay.com/sch/Battlestar-Galactica/37880/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&_ssn=mrichards2002
  4. SO SAY WE ALL! This beauty just arrived, another awesome VIPER for my BSG collection!
  5. Looking good Jason!!
  6. That's some serious approval right there & your customs are awesome, I really like the Delta-winged VF-1.

    There's a handful of Hi-Metal Fast Pack/Super Part sets on Mandarake if anyone has been searching for them. Just follow the link! https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1127924537&ref=list&keyword=Macross&lang=en
  8. So one for each mode and one for just in case. I look forward to some pics when they arrive, living vicariously through you and other members pics!
  9. Looks like an awesome custom. Just a heads up we already have a thread dedicated to all things MOSPEADA.
  10. The M911 was either something they thought looked cool or possible licensing issue. Either way it's a simple water slide decal and can be removed. Now you just need a Roy Focker helmet!

    Hi-Metal R

    IMO it might be one of the best Macross toys ever built, the thing is an absolute BEAST!!
  12. That was a wonderful sight to see the Dragon & ISS crews greet each other with a hearty handshake & hug. I love how the Nose-cone on the Dragon opens up to reveal the hatch.
  13. I was in 4th grade when the Challenger exploded. We watched it live that morning in school, the teachers & staff were either in shock or tears, most of us weren't really old enough to fully comprehend what just happened but it was a really strange day. When I came home from school, my mom who was a teacher and as a kid always dreamed of being an Astronaut was in total tears, that's when it hit me something bad had happened. The appreciation & respect that I have for the Space program & Astronauts grew after that. Columbia was another reminder of just how dangerous it is out there. And yes, today was a step forward again and in the right direction. Between NASA & SpaceX working together it will pave the way for better & more successful missions. Not just to orbit, the ISS or even back to the Moon. Give it a decade or so and we'll be on Mars, we did the Moon in the 1960's with a slide ruler and machines barely worthy the title of a computer. with what we possess now it is possible... dangerous as all hell but possible.
  14. Awesome, thanks Dobber! I saw one of these on eBay for a really good price but was concerned about the scale, might have to pull the trigger on one!
  15. I realize I am extremely late to the party but what scale is the MK III Viper, same as the Moebius model kits?
  16. A perfect launch, everything by the numbers it would seem and now it's waiting game to arrive at the ISS. Sucks though that the LIVE feed gave out as the boosters were about to land. So far this is the only footage of it.
  17. It's raining with some dark clouds rolling in, wonder if they'll have to Scrub again.
